Correct Answer: 24
Solution : Given: Speed of the first person = 18 km/hr Speed of second person = 24 km/hr Let the distance be $x$ km. Time taken by the first person = $\frac{x}{18}$ hour Time taken by the second person = $\frac{x}{24}$ hour According to the question, ⇒ $\frac{x}{18}–\frac{x}{24}=\frac{20}{60}$ ⇒ $\frac{4x–3x}{72}=\frac{1}{3}$ $\therefore x=24$ km Hence, the correct answer is 24.
